2= Blast Chilling or Secondary Compressor.

3= These may vary depending upon type of remote condensing

III. c - REFRIGERATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION:

All Traulsen blast chillers, with the exception of model RBC50, require the use of a floor drain or floor mounted condensate evaporator for condensate

removal. Refer to “Section III. h” of the blast chill

owner’s manual for more information.

Remote refrigeration installation requirements apply only to models RBC200 and RBC200RT. A remote condensing unit, operating on R-404A refrigerant, is required for Blast Chill operation on these models. The remote condensing unit(s) should be capable of providing 18,700 BTU/hr @ -10 F suction and 90 F ambient at the evaporator coils of the Blast Chill section.

4 HP air-cooled and 3 HP water-cooled remote condensing units are available from Traulsen as an optional accessory, but please note that these are rated for use only within a 25 foot radius of the cabinet.

III. c - REF’N SYSTEM INSTALLATION (CONT):

Actual capacity of the remote condensing unit and line sizing will depend on the length and layout of the connecting piping from the remote condensing unit to the Blast Chill unit. These utilize a 1/2” liquid and 1-1/8” suction lines. Proper line sizing should be defined by a qualified refrigeration engineer or technician.

The low pressure cut-out of the remote condensing unit should be adjusted to obtain an evaporator coil temperature NO LOWER THAN the connecting piping is 40 feet or less, the condensing unit low pressure cut-out settings will be approximately 15 +/- 2 PSIG cut-out and 25+/- 3 PSIG cut-in.

For more information please contact the factory (800825-8220).

IV. SMART CHILL CONTROL

IV.a – SEQUENCE OF OPERATION: a.1 – Control Revision Numbers

There are multiple versions of the Smart Chill Control V1.08 - V2.11. Largely troubleshooting on all versions will be the same.

a.2 – System Idle:

The Smart Chill control is meant to maintain a median operating temperature of 37F - 40F when in idle (no active batches). During this time only the “Maintenance” or holding system is active with the exception of the RBC200 which runs the Blast system ever other cycle. Anytime the display shows to be at the “Main Menu” the system is in idle.

a.3 – Chill Cycle:

When a standard chill cycle or batch is started the unit will maintain a median temperature of 10F-14F until all product is chilled to 37F, if using food probes, or until preset time is complete. During this time both the “Maintenance” and “Blast” systems will be active.

a.4 – Holding:

Once all product reach 37F or below, or the preset time is completed, the unit will begin what is called a “Holding” mode. During “Holding” the unit will again maintain 37F - 40F but both systems continue to operate because of the known product load. Once the operator removes the product and acknowledges the removal of product via the control the system returns to idle or the “Main Menu”.

a.5 – Defrost: Models RBC100, RBC200, and RBC200RT have electric defrost. Models RBC50 have hot gas defrost. On all units defrost is scheduled to occur every 3 hrs and terminates at a 50F coil temperature. RBC100, RBC200 and RBC200RT have a max defrost duration 40 minutes while the RBC50 has a max defrost duration of 15 minutes. Once a defrost is initiated it cannot be overridden or terminated by any method other than meeting control parameters (time or temperature). The Smart Chill control WILL NOT initiate a defrost cycle during a chill cycle. Rather it will flash DEF REQD in the top left portion of the display screen when a defrost is required during a chill cycle. Once the chill cycle completes the unit will then initiate a defrost. The Smart Chill control WILL initiate a defrost during a Hold mode.

For more information regarding additional operating

modes and conditions please reference the Owner’s

Manual.

IV.b – Manual Defrost: To initiate a manual defrost the system must be in idle and at the main menu. Once a defrost is initiated it cannot be overridden and terminated by

IV.b – MANUAL DEFROST (CONT): any method other than meeting control parameters (time or temperature).

1. From the “MAIN MENU” select “MORE”

2. Select “DEFROST”

3. Select “START” the unit should now be in a defrost.

IV.c – PRINTING CONTROL DATA:

XIII. TROUBLE SHOOTING

CONDITIONS

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

PRINTER ERROR

1.

Check for the correct style of paper in the printer. (It must use

Thermal paper 2 1/4 inch roll).

2.

Check the paper tension bar (located under the bottom of print

head). Tension Bar must be in the up position to allow it to feed

paper thru.

3.

Check for paper jam.

4.

Check the cutting wheel on the printer head. (The wheel must be

all the way to the right in the ready position.)

5.

Check the wiring from the relay board to the control board and

the wires from the control to the printer.

6.

Paper must be installed correctly. (It must come off the top of the

roll with the treated side up as it passes thru the print head.)

7.

If the unit has two printers you might, try to swap the two printers

to help confirm the printer is not repairable.

8.

Should the Printer causes the unit to have a power interruption,

while asking to print the label, the issue will be with the Smart

Chill Board and must be changed out with a version 1.12 or higher

to correct the problem.

SYSTEM/CONTROL ERROR

1.

The Box Temperature has exceeded 160 . All fans, compressors

OVER TEMPERATURE

and heaters turn off.

CONTACT SERVICE!

2.

The Refrigeration Systems have failed to come on to cool the box.

3.

The Cabinet Air Sensor could be bad and could be reading higher

than 160 and will cause this Error message.

4.

The power must be turned off and then back on to reset the

control.

SYSTEM/CONTROL ERROR

1.

Check all operation sensors. (Cabinet air senor, Maintenance coil

sensor, and Blast Chill coil sensor).

EXCEEDED 6 HOURS

2.

Check the refrigeration systems for proper operation. The lack of

either refrigeration system will cause the chill time to run longer.

3.

Check the blower motors for proper operation. Observe the

Blower Motor housing & blower wheels for any deformation.

4.

Check the operation of the unit. If the control was in a “By Temp

or By Time” mode for more than six hours the unit will shut down

and the only way to make it come back on is to turn off the power

and then restart the unit.

SYSTEM/CONTROL ERROR

1.

Both Defrost Sensors did not achieve defrost termination

temperature (50 ).

2.

Go to program 75 until you reach the Def/coil button. Press this

button and observe the temperature of both sensors. If one or

both read strange or open circuit, the bad sensor should be

changed out.

3.

Check the Thermal fuse, located near the evaporator coil. If it is

open the heater will not come on to raise the temperature past the

termination point.

4.

Go to program “85” (see manual & scroll thru until you see the

defrost time). The length of defrost should be set to 40 min.

This may be caused by the contacts on the relay sticking closed.

2.

Check to see if the customer did not clear all of the probes upon

completion and then starting next batch.

3.

This will result in the unit not being allowed to go into a defrost

cycle until the coils ice up.

4.

Go thru the steps to remove all products and allow the unit to go

into a defrost cycle.

5.

Should the Maintenance Compressor not shut off look on top of

unit to see if the contacts might be stuck closed.

6.

If the relay is functioning correctly you will need to go to the

evaporator and check the two coil sensors. They should not be

reading high temperature as this will result in the compressor

running excessively long and freezing the evaporator up.

7.

The refrigeration system could be causing the coil to ice up if not

functioning correctly.
